This little ship is the Hiver equivalent of the Suleiman-class scout and can be seen throughout Hiver Space. In the configuration below, it serves as a jump-capable ancillary craft in the development zones. The ship's crew are highly trained and multi-skilled. except for the gunners, who aren't always carried. In this case, the guns can be slaved to the pilot's controls. In the interior, the utility vessel is stripped of turrets, weapons, and probes, and referred to as an Explorer, presumably to confound foreign intelligence. The ship can carry up to five passengers (...seven if no gunners are aboard) in double occupancy.
